Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

newbie here with a fixie conversion question. i have a verticle bracket and would like to convert this frame to a singlespeed. is this generally not recommended? how can you get the chain real tight on a verticle bracket?
